Can't believe that we don't have a Lucas Vasquez thread Well let me drop this video to start the thread:

The Club has just confirmed on the official website that Lucas' contract has been extended to 2021 with a nice raise for his commitment and effort he has shown since coming back from the glorified loan

Well deserved thread and extension. He has far exceeded my expectations. From the time Callejon and Higuain left, we've lacked spark coming from the bench. Vasquez and Morata have provided that and then some.

lol, valk, you and i know everytime arbeloa set his foot on the bernabeau grass in the last 4 years at that right back slot we were all in panic. i like hardworking players as much as the next fan, but being hardworking/pride/courage and all these wonderful superlatives can't get you that far if you're playing like crap....

arbeloa may be a fantastic individual and great human being (i don't know him personally), but as far as football is concerned, i hope lucas isn't following that blueprint. arbeloa was practically known more for his tweets and interviews than for his performance on the pitch.....i think he might be our version of what oleguer was to our rivals. (oleguer was definitely a worse footballer than arbeloa, i'd give arbeloa that. at his worst he was still better than oleguer)
